Buried in the frenzy, Liu Yuliang hurriedly asked the generals around him: "Is there any fortified city nearby?" ”

As soon as I heard it, I knew that Shousuke was going to hide in Jiancheng.

The general was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Dozens of miles ahead is Jinzhou, I heard that Zhizhou has already mobilized the squires to defend, which can be described as a strong city!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Liu Yuliang was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered: "Quick, immediately send someone to say that this official is about to arrive in Jinzhou, let him be ready to meet him!" ”

"Yes!" When the general heard this, he immediately called his personal guards and hurried to do this.

However, what they didn't expect was that after a while, before they arrived in Jinju, the guards returned breathlessly, and said angrily: "My lord, Jinju does not open the door, saying that the situation is tense and for the safety of the people, no one will open the door." ”

"What?" When Liu Yuliang heard this, he was immediately furious and shouted: "A little Zhizhou dares to disobey the order of this official!" ”

"I really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, doesn't he want to be an official anymore?" The generals on the side also shouted angrily, "Could it be that you didn't make it clear that Shoufu was going to Jinju?" ”

In fact, he also knows that in this era of war and chaos, all localities not only guard against thieves and Manchu Tartars, but also guard against local officials and soldiers. It is really the reputation of the official army, which has been corrupted over the years. Because of this, he emphasized Shousuke-sama.

The guard heard this, and hurriedly replied: "Of course the villain said it, and he specially emphasized that Lord Shoufu was coming, but the governor of Jinju still refused to agree!" ”

When Liu Yuliang heard this, he immediately blew his beard and glared at him, and he was not lightly angry, so he heard him say sharply: "Okay...... Good...... is so bold, the official doesn't believe it, a little Zhizhou dares not to let the official enter the city! Is he too long to be an official? ”

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly led the army to Xingshi to ask for the guilt!

This Jinju, in the central region of Hebei, is not very far from Julu. It has long been rumored that 100,000 Manchu troops are circling around, and it seems that they have gathered on the side of Julu. But Jinzhou's side, did not dare to slack off, Zhizhou Chen Hongxu said to mobilize the squires in the city, give money and food, mobilize the people, and increase vigilance day and night to guard the city. As for the local guard army, it was directly ignored at this time.

When Liu Yuliang's side just appeared in Jinzhou's field of vision, the city was already in full swing.

Seeing that there was really the banner of Shoufu coming, the squires on duty in the city were a little panicked, and hurriedly invited Zhizhou, and other squires also followed.

"My lord, it's really Shousuke-sama outside, what can I do?"

"My lord, you must not let those soldiers enter the city, otherwise, I don't know what the city will do to them!"

"Yes, these soldiers and ruffians coming into the city will only add to the chaos, and if they don't do it well, they will also affect us and the people of the city!"

“……”

Listening to them, Chen Hongxu looked at the army outside from the arrow tower, frowning.

He was not born as a Jinshi in the Eight Classics, but inherited his father's shadow with all his lives, and recommended him to be the governor of Jinju. To put it bluntly, he's just a showman, but he does have real learning, not the kind of dead study, and he has dabbled in all aspects. Therefore, after looking at it for a while, he could see that the military discipline of this officer army outside the city was very poor. If an army like this were to be put into the city, the things that these squires feared might well come true!

But the first assistant is here, if you don't put it in the city, you will offend the first assistant of the current dynasty, not only will the future be gone, but you may even face more serious problems.

So, how to choose?

He was thinking about it, but Liu Yuliang had already arrived at the city, and shouted fiercely at the city head: "Chen Zhizhou, you are so bold, you dare not open the city gate!" This official will give you another chance, and quickly open the door and welcome us all in! ”

"Yes, hurry up and open the door, I didn't see Shousuke-sama arrive!" The generals beside him were also pretending to be powerful, and they usually didn't dare to speak to civilian officials like this, so they heard him shout, "The Manchu army has come, if there is anything, can you bear this responsibility?" ”

The soldiers behind them were gasping and cursing at the city. Damn, you dare to refuse to enter the city, it's really the opposite!

If it was only them before, I guess I wouldn't have lost my temper. But at this time, there is Shousuke-sama, and he dares not to open the door, his head is really caught by the door!

At the head of the city, when the squires saw this, they stopped talking one by one. Although they don't want people from outside to enter the city, they also know how heavy Shousuke's weight is! Don't say that Zhizhou is just a showman, even if he is a serious Jinshi background, it is not easy to offend the head of the dynasty!

Before the city had time to reply, Liu Yuliang was already impatient, and shouted angrily: "Chen Zhizhou, this official restricts you to open the door immediately and welcome everyone as if you were in the city, otherwise military law will be engaged!" ”

"Yes, open the door quickly, otherwise military law will be engaged!"

"Shousuke-sama is here, are you blind?"

“……”

Chen Hongxu frowned, glanced at the situation under the city, and when he heard this, he made a decision in his heart. He hugged his fists and saluted Liu Yuliang, and then said loudly: "Xiaguan heard that Shoufu came out of Beijing to supervise the division, and the enemy was on Julu's side, why did Shoufu come to Jinju?" If there is not enough grain and grass, you can be responsible, and now you want to enter my Jinju, but why? Could it be that Shoufu heard the enemy and fled? Although the lower officials are not talented, they cannot be trapped in disloyalty. The gate of Jinju has been blocked and cannot be opened! “

As soon as he heard this, the squire beside him suddenly felt happy in his heart. They didn't expect that Lord Zhizhou would have the courage to refuse to offend Shousuke! But then they immediately became worried, Lord Zhizhou did this, what will happen to the future?

Liu Yuliang in the city was very surprised when he heard this, obviously a little shocked, and then he was furious, and his hand pointing at Chen Hongxu trembled slightly, it seemed that he was angry enough, and at the same time shouted loudly: "You ...... You're so bold, you're ......."

However, he couldn't say what he said below, because Chen Hongxu used righteousness to block him, could it be that he could still say that he was afraid that the Manchu army was too powerful, so he didn't dare to join up with Gao Qiqian's department, and hid far away, and now when he heard that the Manchu army was coming here, he quickly wanted to hide in the fortified city?

Liu Yuliang was angry, and his face turned red. The people under him didn't expect that little Zhizhou would dare to offend Shousuke, and for a while, they all looked at Shousuke and didn't speak.

Liu Yuliang looked at Chen Hongxu's expression on the head of the city, and knew that he was determined not to let himself enter the city. If the stalemate continues, no matter how cruel he says, he will definitely not be able to change Chen Hongxu's decision, but will bring more humiliation.

"Okay, good, good, you wait for this officer!" After Liu Yuliang threatened, he turned his head and scolded the general beside him: "What are you doing stupidly, don't leave quickly!" ”

Seeing the army under the city leave with hatred, although the squires at the head of the city breathed a sigh of relief, they were all worried about Chen Hongxu.

At this time, Chen Hongxu's mood had stabilized a little, and he looked at them and said, "Since this official is the official of Jinzhou's parents, he naturally has to consider the safety of Jinzhou. You can use your life with peace of mind, just guard the city, and don't worry about anything else! When the sky falls, the official will stand on it! ”

Hearing this, many squires couldn't help but be very grateful.

By the next morning, the Manchu Tanma had appeared under the city. At noon, the Manchu army arrived.
